We took the opportunity of having maths week to do some fun, practical maths activities. Some of the class measured and created waistcoats to their torso length and width which they were able to decorate and wear.
The children practiced fractions with Miss McNulty by dividing up pizzas with different topping for different portions.
On Friday we practiced our STEM problem solving by trying to construct the tallest freestanding tower that wouldn’t blow over. We discussed where we went right, where we went wrong and how we could improve our towers next time.
As part of maths week last week, Primary 3 took part in a 2D shape and 3D object hunt. The squares used tally marks to record the data and the triangles displayed the information by using chalk to draw barcharts on the playground. We liked being outside and observing 2D shapes and 3D objects out in the environment.

Whilst the shape hunt was underway, the squares applied their learning about following directions and planned routes around the playground using right and left turns.
‘I got better at estimating how far distances were. I estimated 24 steps from the bottom of the road to the top and it was 26!’ Kenzie
